Horrible. Like juice, too sweet. Definitely not for pairing with meats. Possibly good enough for a sipper wine.

Very very interesting wine. Little acidity but a very beautiful finish. Possibly most unique one ever for me. Goes great alone or with food. We had it with wild salmon, mashed potatoes and shrimp. Later with just cheese and crackers. Very refreshing.
Held it for a 2nd day out of curiosity. It was very good still but not sure if an extra day gave this wine anything other than some extra acid maybe.
What you taste right out of the bottle versus waiting about 10-15 min for your wine in the glass to get some air is very different. Maybe we'll decant it next time just for fun.

I am a bit clustered with this one. Wanted to love it. Was a bit harsh for my taste right out of the bottle. After decanting it for 1 hour, it turned quickly into a different wine ... smoother, less tannin, etc. Drank it on it's own and there was nothing crazy memorable about it especially for over $25 bottle. Left 1/4th of bottle for next day.
On next day this wine became much much better for me. Easier on the palate, just all around good... not great. I may try this one again a bit later in the year but for now, nothing special to make me spend another $28 on it.
